Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Hawthorn Australia | Swinburne University of Technology

The Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation enabled me to connect with fellow students and shift my perspective on the Critical Point Network (CPN). Through the Venture Planning course, I learned lean startup methodologies, how to test ideas in safe environments, and why rapid pivoting is essential for business growth. These lessons have had immediate practical applications in my professional work.
This program cultivates an entrepreneurial mindset while equipping students with skills to become either intrapreneurs - driving innovation within established companies - or entrepreneurs - launching disruptive new ventures. The curriculum blends theoretical frameworks with hands-on learning experiences and offers elective options for specializing in areas like social impact or digital marketing.

The Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation represents the final level in a three-tiered program structure that includes:
Graduate Certificate of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (GC-ENTINN3)
Graduate Diploma of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (GD-ENTINN3)
Master of Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MA-ENTINN5)
While direct enrollment into the Graduate Diploma isn't available, it serves as an exit qualification.
To earn the Graduate Diploma, students must finish 6 core units and 2 elective units.
